In Memory
Don Smith passed away on March 1, 2016. His death was unknown to the College until early last fall.
Born on May 16, 1926, in Highlands, N.J., he graduated from high school in 1944 and immediately joined the Navy to serve for three years or so before matriculating in 1947 with the class of 1951. Like some other vets in our class, Don decided to forgo the fraternity lifestyle. He and his wife, Shirley, an R.N., lived and worked up and down the New York Hudson Valley area. They had a vacation condo on Jupiter Island, Fla., and retired to Arlington, Vt., where they lived for many years—just over the Saratoga Springs, N.Y., border.
Don was stepfather to Shirley’s three children. He was remembered for his quiet, gentle nature, his marvelous quick wit and his talents as pianist, magician and mathematician.
